Spoz Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hm, my order doesn’t seem to have decremented the VAT, seems to have charged me 114 quid... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted May 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2021 The price including VAT is £120 so if you have it showing as less then that then chances are the system has recognised you’re not in the UK and removed VAT. If you have been charged VAT there will be a line on your order showing the VAT amount (and if you think you shouldn’t have been charged VAT then drop us a message (though I’m away from home until tomorrow night with very limited signal). cheers Mike 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Ben, do you have a rough ETA for when the model will be released? And do you know when the early bird offer will end. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted June 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Hi Montyburns56, The earlybird offer is intended to get orders in quickly so we know it will fly. Giving a closing date would be counterproductive, as it will, inevitably, cause some to hold back and wait until the last minute. Once we reach the minimum orders needed there's no real point in keeping the earlybird offer open, but to be as fair as we can we try to send out a newsletter giving a few days warning. Suffice to say that at the rate orders are coming in so far I reckon it won't be long - certainly weeks, not months. In terms of when the models will be shipped, right now that is incredibly difficult to judge for all the obvious reasons. I am hoping that we'll have first samples later on this summer, with decorated samples by the end of the year and maybe production starting soon after, but it's very difficult to say more than that. Maybe Q2/3 next year..? cheers Ben A. Edited June 3, 2021 by Ben A 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined seeing an N gauge 128 produced. Despite my initial enthusiasm, and I'm probably an exception, I'm having great trouble hitting the order button as none of my preferred options has been covered. In fact I'd go as far as to say a whole decade has been ignored - the late 60s to the late 70s. No green with SYP and no blue with headcodes, for either Midland or Western. Hovering between taking the risk that this model will be so popular as to justify a second production run with different combinations, or going for the Midland blue with dominoes so that I don't totally miss out. Not a criticism as I do appreciate that you can never please all the people all the time, and also the challenges you face in bringing a model to the market. More a case of - if you ever change your minds 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted June 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2021 The blue with dominoes is suitable for the 70s (headcodes stopped being used by 1976 earlier in some cases). Having said which if anyone wanted a head code version in blue it should be fairly easy to apply transfers over the dominoes. cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't, I too noticed that all the late '60s-mid '70s ones dissapeared. However, I was planning on getting a BR(M) one in Blue with full yellow ends, and a BR(W) one in green with a yellow gangway door. Thankfully, the BR Blue (M) model has dominoes and not plated lights, which, as Mike has said, can be fairly straight forward to change, and the BR Green (W) model should be fairly easy to mask off the gangway door and paint yellow. Job done. So, Pre-Order placed for two units... A nice heavy chassis please, so I can max out the tailoads! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
